Description - Plant Inspiration Frame-Ups: 50 Pop-Out Prints to Put You in a Fresh Frame of Mind by Mary Rose Amoresano

In the innovative Frame-Ups format, 50 illustrated affirmation cards inspired by the world of plants are accompanied by a stand-up easel frame that makes it easy to display a favourite or change it for a new sentiment as often as desired. From the visual variety of foliage to the wide range of artfully designed pots and planters, keeping houseplants is an addictive hobby that's enjoying a renaissance in popularity. In Plant Inspiration Frame-Ups, 50 beautifully illustrated affirmation cards take inspiration from the world of indoor plants, with each card featuring clever plant-art interpretations of classic phrases. "Don't be afraid to take up space" is juxtaposed with a monstrous monstera plant engulfing a living room; "Take a moment to breathe" features a collection of air plants suspended in hanging planters; and "Create something" comes alive with an illustration of a spider plant sprouting many pups. Bright, whimsical, and uplifting, these cards call out to be displayed, and the Frame-Ups format makes it easy to do just that. With a pull-out tabletop frame included, you don't need to have a green thumb to display your favourite saying or swap it out for another whenever you need fresh perspective.
